Home Work

Our homework assignment from our Weight loss program, take a picture of your refrigerator. I failed to do it before the class when she taught us about doing the prep work when you bring veggies home, then store them in a way that is very accessible and visible. Now they're so pretty, I didn't want to mess them up, so I ate the cookies on the counter instead....why am I getting this feeling I missed the point?

Seriously, all last week, I enjoyed eating fresh veggies this way, but on Friday, I decided to clean and organize the whole thing. Out with the old way of doing it, letting go of the past, braving a new way...but I think the counter is next. Anyone want a cookie?

I have been confronted recently with a deep recognition of the fact that, in order to embrace change, I simply must let go of the things I think I can't do without. Several jars of pickles were hiding in the back of the fridge. It was actually hard to do away with them, just because I have always had multiple jars of pickles in the back of the fridge. Accepting that I don't have to leave them there, taking up space, was huge. There are several things I've been holding on to that just don't have to be done that way any more. I'll live. I'll just keep telling myself that change is good. Anyone want a carrot?
